- Unfortunately, I have not tried any games under Executor and so can't
- comment on their performance. I also have no soundboard, so I can't say
- much about sound support under E/D. Nor can I quantify slowdowns (or in my
- case apparent speed-ups) among the various versions of E/D under Warp, since
- I haven't been able to get Speedometer to work until p9. I >>can<< say that
- p9 is noticeably faster under Warp than p6 was and measureably faster under
- DOS than p6. (On my old 386DX25 bucket Speedometer under DOS gave a PR
- score of 0.236 with p6 vs. 0.311 with p9 vs. a score of 2.163 with p9
- running under Warp.)
-
- Also, I believe someone mentioned having a problem switching between Warp
- and Executor and back, etc. I also had problems of losing control of the
- mouse cursor until p9. Now it "freezes" the old mouse cursor where I left
- it when I switched out of E/D but gives me a new, fully-functional cursor
- when I switch back to Executor.
-
- Hope this helps,

- (Like the other guys who have responded to this, I am looking forward to a
- E/D Warp after 2.0 is out.)
